Pew.

Huge shout out to the Wired audience.

It's a whole nother level of challenge

for me as a freestyler to try to be coherent

when answering complex questions,

and try to, you know, be fluent when expressing

more complicated ideas like this

in a narrative kind of way.

So, super fun for me.

Hope y'all enjoyed it.

Thank you so much for being here.

We love you.

Thank you.
